Can mosquitoes see in red light?

Answer 1

Bees have three types of colour receptor in their eyes, and their color sensitivities peak in the yellow-green, blue, and ultra-violet regions of the spectrum. This means that bees can see ultra-violet (which we can't), and the yellow-green receptors peak further up the spectrum that our own red-orange receptors.

However, the receptors also pick up colours either side of their peak sensitivity, so it is likely that a strong enough red light will be detected, but will not be seen as well as we can see it.

Answer 2

A bee's color vision ranges from ultra violet (which we can't see) to yellow/orange. To a bee, red will appear the same as black, but they will be able to see any ultra violet reflected from what is to us a red (or black) surface.

No. A bee's colour vision extends from orange-yellow to ultra-violet. They can't see red, but they can see ultra-violet, which we can't.

Answer 3

Bees have good color vision, but it isn't the same as ours. We see colors ranging from red to blue violet, but can't see infra red or ultra violet. Bees' color vision ranges from orange yellow to ultra violet, so they can't see red. An object which to us appears red may appear black to a bee, but that would depend on whether that object reflects ultra violet light.

Bees see patterns in flower petals that are invisible to us because they are ultra violet. These patters often lead to the nectaries.

Answer 4

Bees don't come out at night as it is dark and it is cold

Answer 5

Just like all birds, chickens have fantastic color vision.
